🍂 Move Together. Laugh Together. Grow Stronger Together. 🦃

Did you know that children with active parents are up to 6 times more likely to be active themselves?

Healthy habits don’t start in a gym — they start with families moving together.

That’s exactly what makes the SML Turkey Trot so special. ❤️

This isn’t just a race…
It’s a family tradition.
A morning of fresh air, laughter, movement, and memories that last far beyond Thanksgiving Day.

Whether you run, walk, push a stroller, or cheer each other across the finish line — you’re showing the next generation that taking care of your health can be fun, meaningful, and done together.
